Looks like the 240D market that bottomed out a few years ago has gone through the roof.

4 of them came into the junk yard while I was there on Wendsday.

I love the smell of diesel smoke in my hair

It's good to see there are still some reasonably priced ones out there. It's been 23 years, sooner or later you won't be able to touch one for under $4K. If you have a good one, hold on to it; if you want one, don't wait to long.

Some of these cars are drawing 20 bids. Its the damnedest thing I've ever seen, gonna ruin the humble image as the give-away Benz that nobody wants. Next these 240D's will command cult-following as 20th century classics, getting taken out of circulation and stockpiled by collectors.

I've racked up 70k+ miles on one that cost me $500 more than 3 yrs ago.

Just wait a few years, so many of these have been abused, soon it will be hard to find an unmolested one for a reasonable price.
